Who this affects

Hungarian VAT filers and their software vendors. Act XXXV of 2026 makes the stricter invoice-level M-sheet format optional rather than mandatory for the return period including 1 July 2026 — this is the enacted law that the June announcement only promised.

No action — monitoring only.

The change

The Hungarian Parliament adopted Act XXXV of 2026 on 28 July 2026, published in Magyar Közlöny 2026/102 on 30 July and in force from 31 July 2026. It repeals Article 376 of the VAT Act, replaces the 'Invoice acceptance' subtitle of Annex 10, and adds Article 380, under which the stricter invoice-level (M-sheet) VAT-deduction data-reporting format introduced by Act LXXXIII of 2025 — originally mandatory for the return period including 1 July 2026 — is only optionally applicable for that period and is therefore not mandatory.
